Nanotechnology-based clean hydrogen for cars

According to EE Times, a California-based company called QuantumSphere has developed nanoparticles that could make hydrogen cheaper than gasoline. The company says its reactive catalytic nanoparticle coatings can boost the efficiency of electrolysis the technique that generates hydrogen from water to 85% today, exceeding the Department of Energy's goal for...

Water, water everywhere. So why not use it to create steam?

Here is a lesson on how little we can put in the blog...and still call it our own. Could you write less and still get paid ???sheshEver heard of Nuclear powered ships? They heat water that flashes into steam and thus turns the turbines.This short article.I think the...

They're still pushing hydrogen

Your title sucks...It comes off with a sort of negative flavor. Like someone's trying to cram hydrogen down our collective throats. The reality of the situation - Hydrogen fuel cell cars ARE a good thing. Even your article pointed as much out. A better title might have been something like...

They're still pushing hydrogen

General Motors is heralding a milestone for their hydrogen-powered cars still in road testing. Under current political conditions the hydrogen fuel cell car looks almost perfect: it emits H20. No carbon, sulphur or nitrous emissions. It burns hydrogen which is almost infinitely available from hydrolysis. And that in...

'Mericans say: "Gimme a plug-in"

Pay more, yes...Pay more than the gas price we would save over the life of the car, no. That's the issue now, you do not save more in the long run. Once we get to the point where we would merely break even, then I would seriously consider a plug-in.Electric...

Fossil fuel battle: who'll reign over America's energy future

Nothing but lies...When will this lie stop, no different than Lenin quoted, if you tell a lie enough it becomes the truth.There is NO evidence of this and it is ludicrous that everything will be electric. The power grid cannot even support what we have now, so now it is...

Researcher: Pee power in our energy future

Don't waste that bodily waste, convert it. That's the system suggested by Ohio University researchers. They are converting urine into hydrogen for fuel cell fuel. Are we really flushing away a great source of energy? The team of engineers are using a nickel-based converter that...

How dead are American hydrogen cars?

Has the dream of hydrogen-powered cars gone up in a puff of vapor? Has it evaporated? Was it all hot air? It was back in 2003 that the American President asked for over a billion dollars to make our auto fleet more hydrogen-powerful. Some hydro-advocates still...
